Insomnia Radio #154: Sea Chanteys of the Submariner

After a two month turbulent voyage, we believe we’ve located a safespot to service the battle-scarred Insomnia Submariner, and have surfaced to bring you some chanteys from the musicians we’ve collected along our voyage while we conduct repairs.

This new episode continues somewhat where Jason left off in his final all instrumental offering; at least the first track by Saskatchewan outfit, Geronimo whom lead us into the rest of the quality mixed tracks we’ve discovered in our recent travels.

Shows will resume on a 1-2 week schedule with a few rotating regional hosts bringing you new content. Also, the Daily Dose feed is now live again with featured content pumping through the engines seven days a week, keeping us all motoring along. You can subscribe at Feedburner and on iTunes as well. We are about a week in at this point. Also, keep eye out for our regional shows as well!

If you are looking for Jason, he will be returning to podcasting, but as part of a new mixed media project he’s developing at the link farther below.

Insomnia Radio, Signing Off

This is an emotional post to write, and as such it’s going to be stripped down to the essence. I have battled this decision for awhile, but I have to say goodbye to my show, and to all of you amazing hardcore indie fans, and move on. Hopefully you all realize there is no RIGHT time to do this, just the NECESSARY time.

In the past 3 months I have resigned from what I thought would be a successful business venture for the network and myself, been screwed to the tune of over $20, 000, been handed divorce papers, left home, and lost my beloved grandfather. Yea, this is the distilled version of course…

But as they say, something’s gotta give.

I feel as if I should dedicate 5000 words to defending this decision, I feel I owe that to you. But I’m exhausted, and I’m going to ask that you trust me, that this is literally the only option that feels right in my life. You would think Insomnia Radio would bring me sanity, excitement, comfort, but that’s not the case. And though I DID really enjoy recording the last 2 episodes, I just can’t get that back. So much of what’s happened over the past year with Thimble media has unfortunately spoiled it all for me.

The emails never end, the packages never end, the maintenance never ends, the promotion never ends.

I’ve had my success with the show, and while it’s not monetary, I’m ok with that. It changed lives, literally at times, and propelled many individuals and many bands into better places. Those of you reading this, it’s my sincere hope that it’s had a positive impact on you as well.

Look, it’s not all sour grapes and depressing goodbyes. Our regional shows live on, and now that I feel I can be completely honest with you - two of them deserve to take over my show. IR: SoCal & IR: Chicago. Charles & Kara are ridiculously dedicated, have impeccable taste in music, and have the passion for all of this that I have simply lost. (This isn’t to say our other shows are equally good, but these two are in your face all the time!) You may see their content on the IR proper feed soon. I haven’t decided what to do, but I will say NOT to unsubscribe. I wouldn’t mind grabbing the mic on occasion.

I guess I could go on for pages. Bottom line: Thanks for believing, thanks for listening, thanks for spreading the word. Now, please redirect your attention to several other regional shows who are more than deserving of your ears.

Can’t think of anything else, and this was more difficult than I thought.

Keep it loud, keep it indie, and stay real;

Jason Evangelho

Insomnia Radio #151: Hobbyist Edition

There is always something so exhilarating about the 10 track setlist. The initial 3 song pedal to the metal assault on your senses. Space to highlight 2 great singer songwriters right in the middle of the show, just long enough to take a breather. Then the 2nd half full of twists and turns and genre bleeders. Toss in a couple teasers from albums just on the horizon. And cap it all with a song that just SOUNDS like a great closer.
